Vascular Services & Surgery

When you need surgery or a minimally invasive treatment for your blood vessels, choose a Ballad Health board-certified vascular surgeon trained in the latest and best ways of caring for you. Take advantage of:

Carotid endarterectomy – Makes a small cut over your neck to remove plaque from the artery that carries blood to your brain

Dialysis access – Specializing in the management of temporary dialysis catheter placement, long-term fistula and graft creation, and emergent access for angioplasty procedures. Treatment options are based on clinic practice guidelines from the National Kidney Foundation

Neuroendovascular medicine – Specializing in the management of acute stroke and cerebrovascular disease, we provide world-class comprehensive care for those at risk or suffering from complex vascular disorders of the brain and spine.

Varicose Vein Treatment

Relieve varicose veins and spider veins with simple treatments, including nonsurgical options, that reroute blood through healthier veins. Treating problem veins can make it less likely they’ll lead to skin sores, blood clots or bleeding.

Ask your doctor about:

Endovenous laser ablation – Sends nearly pain-free laser energy into your vein to seal off diseased areas, shows immediate results and lets you get back to daily activities right away

Sclerotherapy – Injects medicine into the problem veins to shrink them without surgery

Ambulatory phlebectomy – Gently pulls out large veins through tiny incisions, leaving almost no scars

Microphlebectomy – Removes surface veins using a minimally invasive procedure performed under mild local anesthetic

Your treatment not only can ease itchy, achy veins, but may also help you feel better about how you look.
